SLLP outline and thoughts

1. SLLP outline and thoughts Integration of small systems into larger power grid

2. Notes about the next few slides • I chose an example project that I do not know even fits the charge, but it let me pick out some specific customers, and critical capabilities to work with. • The project I chose was to develop an integration method where multiple small technologies could be integrated into any larger power system. That way users could “plug in” a source of solar power, or a wind turbine, or any other energy source available and thus build energy independence one step at a time. • The goal of this project is to build a high rise that could eventually be the home of this research center. • The building would be build to allow many new products and systems to be integrated into the design including trial of new ideas and systems. • Initial phases would concentrate on the design of the build with two major concers: • Ease of incorporating and integrating various systems • Building design to take advantage of available wind and solar potential.

3. Value Proposition • Provide expertise to develop integration of small scale alternative energy methods and devices into use on the grid. • Computer modeling of implementation ideas. • Ability to develop technology that will help small business develop without risking their own profits – there is a place ready in the marketplace for new products.

4. The Plan • Develop plan combining and integrating many alternative energy sources within a single building. • Goal is to have an actual building standing at the end of the five years that would be partially a commercially viable building and partially our laboratory for development of further energy products.

5. Target audience • Entrepreneurs that are looking for easy markets for present and developing technologies. • Power companies that would like to lower peak loads (many alternative sources would have peak outputs at peak usage times) • Environmental interests that want to lower emissions and energy wasted in transportation (produce the energy near the consumer). • Individuals and organizations wanting to become more energy independent • Commercial controls companies wanting to get in on controllers for this development

6. Support Network • Smaller government units that want to participate in green initiatives (Like Mayor Rahm Emanuel) (If Obama wins in November) • Smaller government units that want to participate in green initiatives (Like Mayor Thomas Menino)(If Romney wins in November) • Other EFRCs. Find other projects that are ready for a real world test case. • Existing Alternative Energy companies • Architect wanting to work on this building

7. Risk Mitigation • Building must be capable of commercial success in its own right. • Obtain support from companies with technologies that are already understood along with developing ideas.

8. Critical Capabilities • Expertise in integration and controls of large systems • Engineering expertise with substantial power systems • Computer modeling to aid in designs of system designs.

9. Possible users • Home owners able to more easily integrate solar panels or with turbines for home use. • Building material manufactures able to produce things like solar panels for building surfaces knowing that architects would be able to easily integrate them into building designs. • Organizations would be more willing to add energy options and features knowing the integration would be simple. • Other EFRC’s realizing easier implementations

10. From Lois’ Brainstorming on Outline • With whom do we communicate proposal • Build support from producers of products such as solar panels, wind turbines, etc. • Other EFRC’s developing technologies such as variably transparent solar material. • City Governments that want to be known as innovators in the alternative energy movement
